It helps ease that uncomfortable, bloated feeling and reduces indigestion. This remedy suits individuals who are irritable, impatient, and sensitive to noise and light.
2. Carbo Vegetabilis: Dubbed the "great reliever" of bloating, Carbo Veg is ideal for those who experience bloating with the sensation of fullness and discomfort in the abdomen. It's especially useful when you've consumed too much gas-producing food and need relief from the bloated aftermath.
